About

My Background: Creativity, Empathy,
Healing

I have practiced various modalities of
mind and body therapy since the mid-90’s and have been a Certified Birth Doula, CD(DONA) since 2005. Through this
work, as well as creative ventures in art and music, I have learned that
sensitivity, empathy and non-judgment are crucial to the best therapeutic
relationships. I am currently licensed in Colorado (LPC 0011787) and registered in California (MFTI 66981).

My Core Belief: "The Person is not the Problem, the Problem is the Problem!"

My core practice is Narrative Therapy,
which holds that our identities are shaped by the stories we tell about our
lives. . Rather than seeking to repair internal "damage" or
"deficit", Narrative Therapy externalizes problems
and explores their effects on peoples’ lives. I work collaboratively to help my clients fully describe
their stories and investigate the possibilities associated with them. My passion lies in asking questions that will allow you to think about
problems in new ways, creating new avenues for growth, fulfillment and
happiness.

My Clients: Teens to Seniors, Singles and Couples

Successful therapy requires a sense of
safety and the space for excitement and hope. I enjoy this with of
clients of various ages, orientations, life situations, ethnicities and
beliefs. My greatest hope is for your
aspirations to be realized, and if we determine there are better
avenues, our time is well spent.

I work frequently with healthcare professionals, addressing the unique challenges of being in the
healing arts. I have a particular
interest in working with expectant parents given my background as a doula. Singles,couples and parents from the GLBT community are especially welcome. Finally, I have focused specific aspects of my practice on
those struggling with eating disorders and substance abuse.
